Question

How is chocolate best stored?

Answer

Chocolate should be stored in cool, dry conditions. If it becomes too warm, the cocoa butter rises to the surface and a whiteish-grey film or “bloom” develops.

The chocolate will still taste the same and, once melted, will usually return to its original colour. If chocolate has been refrigerated or frozen, bring it to room temperature before using.
